How long does it take to watch Naruto: Shippuden?

Shippuden ran to exactly 500 episodes over ten years, about 192 hours. Its filler proportion is even higher than the original — commonly estimated at around 40%, or roughly 200 episodes — because it repeatedly outran the manga. Watched with the original series it is 720 episodes and nearly 277 hours. The final arc alone occupies over 70 episodes of largely static confrontation, which is the most-skipped stretch in mainstream anime.

What this assumes

500 episodes at 23 minutes of programme content, not the 30-minute broadcast slot.

Sources sometimes quote 30 minutes per episode; that is the broadcast slot including adverts, not the episode.
